Welcoming our new kitten home

If you’ve been following the blog or our social media, you’ll know that we lost our beautiful cat Cassie at the end of August. When we adopted her, she was at the tail-end of being a kitten as she was 1 year old. Unfortunately, she had FIV. As such, we made sure that we took her to the vets regularly and were careful with her diet in a bid to give her the longest life possible. When we found out that she needed to be put down, we gave her the best last couple of days that we could. I still feel so sad and miss her so much, however, recently we felt ready to adopt again. A popular opinion is that the best way to honour your rescue pet’s memory is to adopt another when you’re ready. I’m inclined to agree, so back we went to Cats Protection “just for a little look” to see if we really did feel ready mid-September.

My thoughts on Autumn starting nursery

Time has seemed to elapse in a really strange way since becoming a parent. Sure, those early days (or rather nights) often felt so long, but the years have gone so quickly. I can’t believe I have a 3 year old! It seems almost impossible that that little bundle has turned into a proper person who talks and has her own little personality in such a short period of time. Now, next week my baby is off to nursery and I have a whole mixture of emotions!
